I’ve never had an issue with my goby but then I have no SPS. It likes to sit in my Devil’s Hand and is quite peaceful. My TSB was fun, but would take no crap from my Ocellarus. If she gave him any, he would grab her by the lip and give her a good shake and she was 3x his size! You could also look at Gramma Loretto but they tend to hang out in caves so you generally only see them at feeding time. They can be cranky too. Stay away from Dottybacks. They can be very territorial and probobly wouldn’t be a good mix with the wrasse ( similar body shapes).

I guess what i should do is add more live rock from my sump up to the DT, and create more structures.

I was saving that entire left side for corals, and was intending on adding more rock as i had gotten them.

Right now im acclimating to my new lights, as its way overkill for the tank i have, but couldnt pass on the deal i got for them.

I will pick up a yellow goby and see how that goes, my wrasse seems pretty chilled. He hasn't picked on anything, is more interested in picking stuff off my live rock.

The female clown is more punkish to the male, however i think she pissed off the male one day and he bit her lip, which was swollen for like 2-3 days, and returned to normal.

The female clown completely ignores the wrasse, even during feeding, you can see them share the feeding ring i have up at the water line.

I will see if i can get a yellow clown, and if things goes well, i will then finalize my livestock with a bicolor before they get all get big and decide not to share anymore.

You could always go for a starry blenny, they have a very nice personality and will swim around your entire tank. It might be a little much, but if other people say its good I would totally get one. They will eat most frozen foods and even hair algae(not bryposis tho). And like @JoelRHale said "[They have]Best personality I've ever seen in a fish, changes pattern with mood, usually out, natural algae control, easy to care for, isn't a picky eater, tells funny jokes, etc."

I still, and always will, back the statement that the starry blenny is the most interesting fish I have ever kept in my entire 20+ years of the hobby. I still miss Van Gogh (the name of mine).

Blenny's are cool little fish, especially when you get a lively one. Watchmen goby are a good choice too. I'm going to be throwing one of those in my 20g this Friday. Gobies in general have cute little faces that remind me of grumpy old men saying "get off my lawn!". I'd name mine Gramps, but I'm gonna take advantage of the Watchmen name and call him Rorschach (Hopefully he doesn't start screaming for me to give him back his face XD)

I would be wary of adding ANY fish to an established pair of clowns and a 6 line wrasse in a smaller tank. Many folks with 6 lines in tanks in the 200+ gallon range end up removing them when they mature as they turn into pescacidal maniacs. If you do attempt it you definitely want a fish that can hold it's own, so I would rule out a goby or firefish. Blenny might work, possibly a Royal Gramma or Black Cap Basslet.
